Ashley's soul first cursed Hillard angrily, cursed Renua, and cursed Enshir's policy of hating warlocks. Back then, Enhill's father was killed by the usurper, and the usurper ordered a warlock to cast a curse on Enhill, so that he would appear as a hedgehog before midnight. So after Enhill regained the throne, he spread his hatred of the usurper to the warlocks of the empire. Ashley scolded everyone she wanted to criticize, and of course Francesca.

"You **** elven bitch! No wonder your lover has to find other women! And Philippa, I warned the empire for them, but they never warned me!"

She kept throwing her fists to hit Francesca, but the fists could only be drawn from the elf. Francesca looked at Ashley without saying a word. When she heard Ashley attacking herself with rumors, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she still maintained the concerned and gentle expression on her face very well.

After a while, Ashley sat on her body again and started crying, but her voice did not know whether she was crying or laughing.

"Alright, Ashley." Francesca sat beside Ashley's soul. "If you continue to struggle, I won't be able to maintain the spell that summons your soul."

"Do you want to tell me this?" Ai Xilai was crying and wiped her eyes subconsciously, but there would be no more tears left at the corners of her eyes, only a drop of black dirt remained. "I thought we were friends."

"Of course we are friends." Francesca said patiently. "That's why I came to collect your corpse and summon you with magic. I want to figure out what's going on, otherwise how can I get revenge for you? You know, unless my best friend, I will never enter in person. In this dirty sewer."

Ashley wiped her eyes. "You, what do you want to know? It was Hillard. Hillard ordered me to kill. Can you kill him? Blame me. I should be careful, but I didn't expect that he would dare to do it directly in the camp without a trial. And charges."

"Perhaps he found some clues?"

"... Maybe, I was about to reveal a piece of news to you at the time."

"Me?"

"Who else could you be?" Ashley said grimly. "My friend in the empire has received an information. The empire intends to...clean up people who may cause harm, especially after taking over the north."

"...Who?"

"There is already a demon hunter occupying the wasteland in the south. The empire does not want a second one in the north during war. So the order from the palace is to disband all adventure groups, magic schools, churches, and destroy after the imperial army enters the north. All the demon hunter castles and academies, if they resist, the soldiers have the right to put the opponents to death. Four targets have been marked, one is the castle in Verden, one is in Mahakam, and the other is in Skellig. The Imperial Intelligence Service is looking for the position of the fourth, Kyle Morhan."

"Kelmohan?" Geralt asked strangely. "Are you sure, Triss?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Triss held the hot tea cup in both hands, her body still shivering, but it was not because of the cold, but because of the pain left over from the scar. On the other side, Tishaya was performing mind-reading, her eyes closed tightly, before she could treat Triss. "After they tortured out the list of the Sorceress Hall, they asked me the location of Kyle Morkhan. I don’t know why they thought I knew where Kyle Morkhan was, but I didn’t say. Geralt, I I really didn't say it."

"I believe in you, Triss." Jello pointed his head. "The Empire wants to know the location of Kyle Morhan. I should tell Vesemir about this."

"What does the empire want to do?" Guksat narrowed his eyes. "It is not enough for them to prohibit all non-humans from entering the hinterland of Nilfgaard. They also completely prohibit demon hunters in the north and south."

"Why ban non-human beings?"

"Because the empires believe that as long as they are not humans, they will definitely have different intentions." The answer was Tisaya. She knelt and sat in front of the comatose Hillard, opened her eyes, and looked at the woman who sent Tris back. . Frid has been sitting on the wooden chair in the corner, stroking the blade of the transforming growth sword, without saying a word. "Go tell your master that the empire is going to invade the north on August 1."

The first thousand and ninety-five chapters of stone-hearted Ladovide

To enter the circular arena, you must pass through Camp Ridania.

Zelin originally didn't want to attract so much attention, but the situation was different and he could do nothing.

"Ah, it turned out to be a demon hunter. Don't worry, soldier, he must have come to visit me, as we said before. You can go back to your posts."

Yada waved to the Redanian soldiers beside him. "Thank you for your due diligence, but when you see this demon hunter in the camp, you don't need to notify him. He is my father's friend and my friend."

The two Redanian soldiers bowed to Yada and then exited the tent.

"Thank you, princess, uh, your Royal Highness."

"Nothing, do you think I'm like a queen? No, I'm more like a vase. I can only stay in a tent, I can't do anything, I can't do anything. People think that women should stay in the sink. , Kitchen and laundry tub, if Alonrado did the same back then, instead of mentioning the sword as a knight, there would be one less saint in the world. I can also fight, I can’t be a queen, then I would rather be a knight. I don't want to be a queen, getting married is really boring." Yada complained casually. "Oh, Demon Hunter, how about my two half-brothers and sisters?"

"I found your sister, she is safe now, under the protection of Natalis and Roche." Zelin said. "But unfortunately, your brother died in a melee."

Yada was silent for a while.

"You did better than I expected, Zelin." She rubbed her forehead. "I know what it means to disappear mysteriously before this kind of meeting. I didn't expect to hear that my father's child would survive. He believed that you were right. You were going to the ring arena? Ha, Don't say anything is impossible. People who come here either want to visit Ladovide or go to the center of the city. There is no third possibility. You are definitely not here to visit Ladovide."

Ze Lin was just about to answer. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the camp.

The last time he heard this voice was in Vizima.

"Why can't the demon hunter come to visit me?" Ladovide walked in, accompanied by a guard. His eyes were a little arrogant and brisk, as if a young man who had been suppressed for a long time was suddenly told that no one would discipline him anymore. "The demon hunters may visit everyone. Sometimes they appear in the king’s palace, sometimes after the barracks, and sometimes between the castle and the village. I have heard that many farmers in Tamoria know that if they are in trouble Go to the Demon Hunter when you are in trouble. But when the Demon Hunter is in trouble, who will they go to?"

"Usually we will solve the trouble by ourselves, Your Majesty." Ze Lin said blankly. "Since your Majesty is here, I should go now."

"Don't worry, Demon Hunter." Ladovide raised his hand. "I accidentally heard that Tamoria has found Her Royal Highness Princess Aneth?"

"This is Tamoria's business. It is a good thing to be able to find the missing princess."

"Yes, Demon Hunter, in these chaotic times, I am very concerned about the health and safety of my niece. Unfortunately, Tamoria is no longer a peaceful and safe place, and it is not a good place to educate girls. Place." Ladovide said sadly with both hands on the table. "King Foltest is my father-in-law, and it is my duty to protect his children. The real power viscount in Temeria is eyeing the throne, even if Aneth safely returns to Vizima, the minister in the royal council I will not give up the conspiracy to further poison her, so I propose to send Aneth to Redania, and then I will assist Natalis to stabilize the political situation in Tamoria, and wait for Aneth to become an adult next year. Return to Tamoria to inherit the throne."

"I don't understand, Your Majesty, you should talk to Natalis and Roche about this kind of thing, not me."

"But the officer of Tamoria will consider your words. It was you who rescued Aneth. I understand that Roche and Natalis are both loyal and good people, but good people can't do things. People who can find Aneth Only you. If you do it, then they will consider what you are saying. Sometimes people are so weird, and different people say the same things, but they will lead to completely different results."

"You trust my abilities too much, Your Majesty." Zelin said modestly, and at the same time considered the information revealed in Radovide's words in his mind. "I'm just a demon hunter, accepting commissions and doing things with money, and I always think that what I do is reasonable and reasonable. You know, if you want to make money, you have to pay attention to reputation, otherwise no one is willing to hand in commissions again. Here you are."

"Yes, you are like this. There is no country and no patriotism. Tramps who migrate like migratory birds can go wherever they can make money, but sometimes you will find that there is a motherland. It's a good thing, because once you encounter troubles from outside, you have backing behind you."

"The premise is that this country is not a trouble, otherwise it will only want to keep people away."

"Don't use your sarcasm against me, why don't you think about it? When you are in trouble, you will remember what I said. It is not shameful to take an oath in front of the king. On the contrary, it is an honorable thing. Many people dream of it." Radovide said without any reference. "You may wonder why I want to take in the Knights of the Flame Rose, because I will provide refuge to anyone who can make a difference. Someone has made mistakes, but it does not mean that they should be completely denied, so I give them a fief With castles and autonomy, the only requirement is to be loyal to me and obey my orders and pay taxes."

"This kind of thing is very far away from me." Zelin shrugged. "Your Majesty, it's getting late, I should leave."

"Of course, please." Radovide waved his hand, and the guard opened the curtain. Zelin glanced at the back of King Rydania one last time, then turned and walked out of the tent.

"Oh, yes." Radovide suddenly turned around. "Thank you for your treatment of my wife. The potion is very effective. She no longer vomits every day and can eat and sleep normally. Guards, please take this demon hunter to the quartermaster to receive a reward of two hundred crowns. ."

Zelin paused in his footsteps, then walked straight out.

Seeing Zelin's figure disappear into the camp, Radovide looked at Yada.

"Yada, please forgive me for not allowing you to leave the camp before. I was considering your physical factors."

Anda put aside her eyes, obviously not believing what Radovide said. Radovide doesn't care about it, what he needs is not to believe.

"But now that your body has recovered, then you and one of my messengers went to the camp of the Knights of the Flame Rose outside the city. I appoint you as their commander and lead the Knights into Lomune."

"Why enter Lomune?" Yada felt a little strange in her heart, but more was the joy of being able to lead the army again.

"Because there have been too many things in the city recently, I must strengthen the security work of the venue. Go quickly and let them enter the city overnight, but it is not allowed to cause too much movement."

The first thousand nine hundred and six chapters of ice on the gunpowder barrel

A line of fast-running soldiers once again appeared on the streets of Lomugne.

People have already taken it off. On the boxing ring, the spectators were still cheering for the boxers they bet on, applauding every heavy blow. Behind the hotel counter, the tavernkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead while quickly counting today's harvest, and quickly put the coins into the locked box. Only on the high tower next to the circular arena, the cold wind blowing in through the blinds could not remove the drops of sweat from Schir's forehead.

There is a round wooden table in the center of the room. On the table is a plate of grilled fish and a roasted leg of lamb, but the spices can’t let their smell escape. The food has been cold for a long time, and the owner at the table is holding a knife. Fork, have no interest in it.

"I'm sure we have a reliable cook while in Lomugne. No one will have the chance to poison your goblet."

"I don't worry about this." Saqiya leaned on the seat, leaning on her forehead. "How many days have it been?"
